I like the way you think, the way your mind dances with creativity and wisdom. Your thoughts are like a gentle breeze that sweeps me off my feet, leaving me in awe of your brilliance. And oh, the way you make me feel - it's like a symphony playing in my heart.

rosy maple moth c:
[image description: digital drawing rendering in a semi realistic style of a fair skinned, fat, tattooed fancy shawl dancer. She has blonde hair with brown roots, and her tattoos are of a sleeping lion under her right arm, and a red octopus on the other. The dancer looks down with their right arm folded up over their head, holding a shawl behind her back, while her left arm rests lazily just over her abdomen. her regalia is pink, magenta, and yellow colored. Her skirt is pink satin with a golden ivy motif pattern, with ribbons of dark purple, dark orange, magenta, and yellow sewed at the sides in a triangular shape pointing upwards. a geometric design of triangles resembling the moth sits in the ceneter, with red maple leaf patterns in the yellow fabric, and a pink rose at the center diamond of the design. She wears plain, light tanned hide moccains, and a magenta vest with similar designs as the skirt. The shawl is hidden behind her back but has dark purple fringes and the shawl is colored yellow and pink. end description.]
(send me a moth or butterfly species and I'll draw a fancy shawl dancer inspired by it series)

Tristan at a dance drawing that um working on ( might be Lancetris if I have the motivation 👀 )
I still can't believe in a manga about medieval fantasy, we still haven't had a ball/dance chapter in both nnt or 4koa 😭😭😭.
If Nakaba won't give me what I want, I'll have to do it myself "rolls up my sleeves"
Thanks btw to @theprinceofliones, her Lancetris fic Half Light gave me some inspiration to draw this :) !

making this post as a reference for dances/gestures/performances/[...] i find relate to Herb Brides' dances In My Mind, as i do not think the soft swaying they do in canon really warrants clothes torn from their chests (but i also know how hard animating characters is, period, so i won't comment on that further.) takes this more as a long Herb Brides Dances Headcanon post (and also as a collection of poses reference...)
Pina Bausch's works, especially her choreography for Rites of Spring (done on a stage covered in dirt).
the dancers have very loose light clothing, so mind the toplessness.
🌾
Damien Jalet's works, especially his works for Les Médusés performance in the Louvre, particularly his "L'Évocation" and "Les Médusées" pieces.
L'Évocation:
it picks up from 2:20 and stays consistently powerful and strong until the end. this is the performance that's the most Herb Brides to me. everything, from the frantic dancing, throwing self on the ground multiple times, the slapping of the chest, the throwing of the hair, the heavy breathing, fits them so, so well to me. this is what i think they do.
Les Médusées (nonsexual nudity in images and video from the costumes):
you might have noticed from the similarities with above, Damien Jalet was the one who choreographied the dances of Suspiria (2018). These dances also fit into the Herb Brides dances of my mind (but since it's a horror movie, I won't put videos as most of them contain spoilers).
last thing from Jalet (for now): his choreography Yama (1:20 and onward)
🌾
Ryan Heffington's choreographic work for the background dancers in Florence + The Machine's "King"
and "Heaven is Here"
🌾
Akram Khan's choreographic work for the background dancers in Florence + The Machine's "Big God"
and for "Giselle" (0:48 and onward)
🌾
Isidora Duncan's body of work and legacy, both as formal inspiration for the dance itself and for the beliefs she put into her art (spirituality, freedom of the body and of movement, sublimation or the body and its holiness through dance)
in that order: Isidora Duncan, Isidora Duncan draw by José Clara, one of her student's Maria-Theresa Duncan, and one of her students' student Madeleine Lytton.
i'm particularly inspired by this video for a "softer" more subdued dance for them, even if the Herb Bride Dance of My Mind is not obviously not this structured and not this consistent/followed across brides, but i find it a good demonstration of the footwork & armswork within a fuller, longer choreography. i also adore this video because you get to see dancers of varied body types and ages
🌾
more to add as i discover new things, new performances and choreographers :3

Napoleon dancing near Berthier
An anecdote about Napoleon from a collection of Polish soldiers memories:
"Do you know, madame," said the emperor to his partner at the moment of rest, "why do I always put Berthier opposite me in the dance? I do it by coquetry: he dances like a bear, and so I seem a little better than him."
A screenshot from the movie “Marysia i Napoleon” from here
